A novel of twists and surprises

How
can I help my students to think about what they're learning,
and how they're developing?

The
Self-efficacy Questionnaire
(SEQ) can be used, on an individual or class basis, to get
students to think about the issues involved.

As with all questionnaire
work, care needs to be taken not to place students in a position
in which they could be psychologically stressed. The questionnaire
is likely to show that some students score more strongly than
others on the items, and it is necessary to be clear that
the SEQ does not reveal any absolute truths (it doesn't),
but provides prompts for students to review how they approach
their work in higher education and in life more generally.
There are no 'right answers' here.
